Using the TI-83 to Understand RSA

General Information
This lesson uses a TI-83 calculator to help understand RSA. Although RSA starts with two large primes this lesson will start with two small primes p & q. The product (p-1)(q-1) will be labeled in and then two numbers congruent to 1 mod m will be used. One will be called s and the other t. The product of p & q will be called n and be made public along with s.
